Florida :) Disney has some awesome decorations up to start out the season right. :( and a guy who works at Epcot told me he's never worn a lederhosen in his life before Disney *cries*

Anyhoo, I shall be making a maple turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, Pumpkin pie and cookies, and deviled eggs today and tomorrow. We're opening our presents Christmas morning and then having all our food in the afternoon. Oh, and I'm watching the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade on ABC in the morning :)

Lederhosen are totally Bavarian, not German. Other GErman regions have their own "Trachten" (traditional clothes) but those are only worn in Trachten-Clubs.

I know. My boyfriend is from Germany and always makes it very clear :( I just want him to be wrong, lol

I'm from Bremen, which is in the north and as a little boy my brother actually got a Lederhosn and with matching socks too, but it was meant as a joke and I think he wore them about one or two times. (I think I put them on once too, just for fun.)

I've noticed that too. I work at a toy store so I get to see all the consumerism at it's best (worst?). Everyone is so concerned in Amerika of finding the right gift.

I was telling my friend Nicole (who's from Germany) about it and I said "It's not like we have anything cool here like Christmas markets like you have back home."

I'm not Christian but I did enjoy the midnight service on Christmas Eve because it was nice, quiet, and I could contemplate on things.

Thankfully for me, I only worked overnight stock. I didn't really have to deal with customers until we started staying open until midnight.

St. Louis, MO, USA...area.

Today I get to go to my stepdad's parents' house for their family gathering where I will mostly likely either be working on my novel or playing my Nintendo DS because I'm not close to these people.

Tomorrow I'll go to my mum's house. Open my presents there, we'll probably have ham and mashed potatoes and something else for dinner. I'll be drinking Beck's the whole night so I can tolerate not only my mum but the holiday altogether.

This is my first Christmas in a long time without a significant other (I'm not a big Christmas person anyways, but having a SO has made it bearable) so it's been really hard for me. Especially when the person I do want lives in Germany. ~headdesk~

I'm in the Philippines. It's the 24th here and my family and I plan to stay up until 12 midnight, eat Noche Buena (late-night Christmas dinner), and open presents ^_^

Tomorrow, we'll be going to my family's yearly Christmas party slash family reunion after attending mass.

Ich bin gut. Ich bin in Tennessee. Wir verlassen noch Plätzchen aus für Santa. Wir werden Schinken, Spinat, Kartoffelpüree, und Kekse essen.

Apologies for my German. Any corrections are more than welcome.

Frohe Weihnachten!

In German you don't say "I'm good", but "Mir geht es gut". Also: Wir lassen noch Plätzchen für den Weihnachtsmann draußen (liegen). Or Wir stellen dem Weihnachtsmann noch Plätzchen hin. (Verlassen means leave as in leave something or somebody behind like for example leaving a city or ending a relationship with a SO.)
